    @Bones He covers 12,13,wing and we've played him at fullback. Is extremely consistent, hardly every has a bad game and makes everyone around look better.

    Would be a great player to have in a size restricted squad.

    Put that way he would be a replacement for Havili.

    An injury chance.

    Is Billy Harmon a bolter?

    Can’t see how he fits without injury to Cane or Paps.
    I get that he is performing at a high quality level but there’s only so many spots in the squad.

    im nothing if not a bias highlander fan and so as much as id love harmon to get the call up....you're right

    Covers 12 better than other midfiled/wing options. Should be ahead of Ennor in the rankings

    I'd agrre wth that but would also not want Ennor anywhere near the squad 🙂

    @Duluth I admit, that's who I had in mind more than DH who is also emergency 10 cover. For a centre/wing Heem is significantly better than Ennor, and covers two additional spots.

    ok, real bolter time....sam gilbert, one of the leading point scorers, excellent goal kicker (hasn't missed since round 6 i think) good at 15 and comfortable in the centres and can cover 10 (especilly outside smith or fakatava) if needed....

    ducks for cover

    Yeah. Heem over Ennor for me too if that was the choice.

    I'd hazard a guess you're going to double up if you find the Easter egg on another thread...

    I like his kicking game and he is very strong, they will probably go with the present crop.

    I'm just happy we have some bolters putting their hands up.
    Hard to look past Heem as the form utility player right now, he wouldn't let anyone down.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they still have Ennor, Goodhue, ALB, Havili ahead of him, but any sane man would instantly throw him in if any of them are out and I'd say he should probably be first in line if Jordie gets injured too.

    Reckon he'd be an excellent "Kahui" even.

    @Bones How would his distribution go under test match pressure? I love the guy, he's a very rare big ball carrier at 12, but that's something that would need to be examined quickly.

    Not like there are a lot of other options though.
